Korean Supreme Court Confirms 17-Year Prison Sentence for Former President Lee Myung-bak
The payback from the Korean left against former President Lee Myung-bak is now complete:
The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a 17-year prison sentence handed down by an appeals court for former President Lee Myung-bak on embezzlement and bribery charges.
In February, the Seoul High Court sentenced the 78-year-old to 17 years in prison, a fine of 13 billion won (US$10.9 million) and a forfeit of 5.7 billion won in a high-profile corruption case.
The former president, who governed the country from 2008-2013, was charged in April 2018 with 16 counts of criminal allegations, including embezzlement in connection with the auto parts company DAS and receiving bribes from various companies and individuals, including Samsung Electronics Co.

You can read more at the link, but President Lee after he took office had his predecessor Roh Moo-hyun investigated for corruption. Roh ended up committing suicide after the investigation disclosed the corrupt dealings of him and his family. The Korean left blamed Lee for Roh’s suicide and one of the first things after current left wing President Moon Jae-in did was to investigate Lee for corruption. Moon was the former Chief of Staff for President Roh at the time.
This is the voice of the Korean Voters now. They are to blame, as they elected the people in charge. I don’t know if he’s innocent or guilty; but jailing former leaders is how Banana Republics work.

And Trump should be in jail for lying 4000 times, dodging income tax where he hasn’t paid a single penny, and causing mass deaths of hundreds of thousands of deaths, through his corruption and incompetence.
